Issa, Grassley focus on US Attorney's office

Washington Times has the story. The allegations are that the office explicitly approved getting the guns into Mexico, one way or another, and that an Ass't US Attorney aided the process by by telling agents they must meet impossibly high standards before they could stop or question suspected straw men.

As was suggested in comments to earlier posts, it's becoming increasingly hard to deny the suspicious that the object of getting guns to the Sinaloa Cartel was ... to get guns to the Sinaloa Cartel.

Remember Iran-Contra? Gunwalker could have had two objectives, too, the first being to embarrass the gun industry so greater regulation would be called for, but it could also have had a much more sinister objective: the destruction of the Calderon government.

Look beyond the photo-op diplomacy between Obama and Calderon: look at all the bitter differences between the two nations.

Time to bring out a Special Prosecutor, and tell that barrister to look beyond the obvious.
